Abstract: Transition milk is a source of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and could potentially be used to provide calves with passive immunity, when the IgG concentration is ≥50 g/L. Assessment of IgG concentrations in transition milk would… read more here.

Abstract: Metritis and mastitis are common early-lactation diseases of dairy cows that reduce milk production. Early prediction enables timely intervention and management, yet no studies have investigated the ability of milk Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for… read more here.
